Chapter 8 - Eight

Nova sat behind the counter of the bustling coffee shop where she now worked. She was lost deep in thought, recalling the days she had spent with Adam before he left for his business trip. She had felt like the happiest woman in the world, but her mood had now shifted to one of sadness and loneliness.

Two weeks after Adam left, Mrs Smith had fired Nova from her job at the mansion after discovering the intimate relationship she shared with her son. Without a job, Nova had no choice but to look for another means of income, which led her to the coffee shop where she now worked.

Despite the busy environment of the coffee shop, Nova's mind often wandered back to her time with Adam. She missed him terribly and longed to hear from him. But there had been no communication between them since he left, leaving her to worry if she had done something wrong or if he had simply lost interest in her.

Working in the coffee shop was not the most glamorous job, but Nova was thankful for the opportunity to work and earn a living. She enjoyed making coffee and chatting with the customers who came into the shop, which was a nice distraction from her troubles.

As she rang up the customers' orders, she couldn't help but wonder if Adam would ever come back to her. Despite the uncertainty, she held onto hope that they would reunite and continue their loving relationship. In the meantime, she tried to keep herself busy and focus on her job, hoping that things would eventually fall into place.

Nova was at work, taking orders from customers at the coffee shop, when her coworker Ashley showed her the latest news on the web.

"Have you seen this?" Ashley asked, holding up her phone. "It's billionaire Adam Smith, making out with some half French and half English model. People are calling them the latest sweethearts."

Nova felt a cold sweat break out on her forehead. She had always been careful to keep her work at the Smith's mansion separate from her job at the coffee shop. She had never mentioned to anyone that she worked for the Smith family, and certainly not that she had a close relationship with Adam.

But now, her world was falling apart. She had always known that Adam was rich and successful, but she never imagined that his celebrity status would lead to tabloid headlines and gossip. And to see him with another woman, intimately kissing and touching her, was too much to bear.

As Nova tried to hold back tears, she couldn't help but remember the tender moments she had shared with Adam. He had told her he liked her, and she had felt the same way about him. But now, it was all over. She had lost him to the bright lights and glamour of his celebrity lifestyle.

Nova struggled to keep her composure throughout the rest of her shift. She smiled at customers and made their coffee orders, but her mind was elsewhere. She couldn't shake the image of Adam with the other woman out of her head.

When her shift finally ended, Nova went home and collapsed on her bed. She allowed herself to cry, to let out all the emotions she had been holding inside. She realized that she had fallen in love with Adam, even though it was foolish to think that someone like him could ever love her back.

Nova was finally able to rent a small apartment, which she now called her own. She spent most of her days trying to adjust to her new life away from the Smith's mansion and trying to figure out how to move on from her feelings for Adam.

Every day was a battle for Nova as she tried to come up with ways to forget about Adam and move on. She forced herself to focus on her job at the coffee shop and to make new friends. She read books, watched movies, and even went to therapy, but nothing seemed to help her forget about Adam.

She cooked up different ways to get rid of her feelings for him, trying to convince herself that he had moved on, and so should she. But her heart was still burning with love for him, and she couldn't help but feel like a piece of her was missing.

Despite all this, Nova knew that she had to continue living her life and moving forward. She focused on building her new life, decorating her apartment, and making new memories. She found joy in the little things and hoped that someday, she would find happiness again.

As time went by, Nova began to realize that moving on was not easy, but it was necessary. It was painful to let go of someone she loved so deeply, but she knew that holding onto him would only cause more hurt in the long run. She tried to remind herself that she deserved better and that someday she would find someone who loved her just as much as she loved Adam.

In the end, Nova was grateful for the time she had spent with Adam, and she was glad that he had helped her grow and learn more about herself. She knew that she would always cherish the memories they had shared but that it was time for her to move on and find her own path in life. She was scared, but she was also excited to see what the future held for her.

But despite the pain and heartache, Nova knew that she had to move on. She couldn't let herself get sucked back into the world of the Smith family and their tabloid drama. She had to focus on building her own life and finding happiness in her own way.

As she lay in bed, Nova made a promise to herself to never again get involved with a billionaire playboy. She knew that she deserved better than that, and she was determined to find it.

Nova was finally able to rent a small apartment, which she now called her own. She spent most of her days trying to adjust to her new life away from the Smith's mansion and trying to figure out how to move on from her feelings for Adam.
